Is very much hit and miss. Albeit you may have a team full of 4 game players for the week doesn't mean they will play all 4. From last years experience they mostly do but not necessarily the minutes.

Some players run hot and have a blinder, next game hardly score. Need to make some money from the rookies and get those premiums in for the 4 game weeks particularly as C.
fun watching your team score go up each day, but so many teams and games in a week, going to be near on impossible to track every player, especially with a short turn around between games

already seen players scores be up or down with variances in minutes played, going to be a very long competition.

think I will just try and rotate the rookies the first few weeks, bank some cash, then upgrade, but try and be mindful of players who have 4 games scheduled.

Looking like a v good score Herbie. I had 2 players who didn't play after playing the first game. Couldn't really play with my team so just hoping for the best. Mrs be ****ed if I played with the games grid and my team in Tokyo, takes a bit of effort. Only 436, no idea how many games left my players have.

Yeah they need to look at how they score players if they miss matches.

Be curious to see what a good score is each week.

Yes you are right the Mrs would not be happy , I am off to the Philippines in a fortnight for 2 weeks so expecting my fantasy NBA, NFL & EPL to suffer (actually they may improve if I don't spend time on them)

Don't think your season is done after one week. So many injuries/rests/down games throughout a season, you just have to trade around/get lucky moving forward.

I am looking at 650-700, picked the wrong captain! Harden over the greek freak...

788 for the week, lucky to have the big Greek man as captain

no doubt it will be all downhill from here.

673 for week 1 and a rank of 735... that's really poor by my standards but I expected that with 3 starters (CP3, A.Gordon, M.Turner) all going down with injury and playing only 1 game for the week each. Harden as C wasn't great either by his standards, I should have gone Giannis.

Great start Herbie

Cheers mate

I was spewing coping Hayward's injury , let alone having 3 players go down.

They really need to adjust their scoring and allow bench scores to count if your onfield player gets injured.

I need to work out my trade strategy , jump on rookies when I can , try and find value and swap premiums.

And be patient :)

Week 2 is underway

I picked up Murray as well, Is an absolute bargain.

Unbelievable... Picked Aaron Gordon last week as thought he was about to explode this season, Plays only the 1 game before getting injured... Couldn't find any info as to if he would definitely play this week so was forced to trade him... And he comes back in the first game of this week and scored 48 DT points!!

Screw Anthony Davis, brought him in this week and he has stuffed my team already.

Don't know why I bother.
